Hello! Most call me Ashley. I’m more an artist than an author, so take my bio-writing with a grain of salt – I’m simply flying by the seat of my pants! As I can’t allocate all my time to the pursuit of art, I embrace the ‘artist’ designation with a touch of humility. My artistic approach varies, yet my creations primarily nestle within the realms of art deco, abstract, and psychedelic aesthetics.

I currently live in NEO Ohio (Cleveland/Akron). When I’m not working on a project, I’m usually taking a nap, traveling, hiking, or going on a new adventure. Predominantly, I express myself through acrylic paint and mixed media, usually finding canvas as my surface of choice. Although I occasionally venture into photography, particularly to seize inspiring instances for later art projects, and explore digital art and numerous other creative paths when inspiration strikes, I always find myself drawn back to the embrace of the canvas

While I diligently devoted countless hours to my high school art studies and have taken the occasional workshop, I consider myself largely self-educated in the realm of art. A selection of my projects have found their way into various publications, acknowledgements, and numerous exhibitions. Beyond the allure of temporal expressionism, my inspiration is stirred by my multifaceted adventures
